In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who
developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important
in learning. During the 1990's a new group of cognitive psychologist,
lead by Lorin Anderson (a former student of Bloom's), updated the taxonomy
reflecting relevance to 21st century work. The graphic is a representation
of the NEW verbage associated with the long familiar Bloom's Taxonomy.
Note the change from Nouns to Verbs to describe the different levels of
the taxonomy.
Note that the top two levels are essentially exchanged from the Old
to the New version.
